> Yep. All the daemons will have ppid==2 . I love that :-) That would be bad, as PID1 is the one reaping dead child processes. Thus daemons should have it as their parent, and doubly-forked processes already do, just as any orphaned process will eventually end up having a PPID of 1. Unless PID2 is a dedicated process supervisor that monitors its children and does the bookkeeping, but I would not expect that from the shell script in the example above.
